Learn the essential Yakuza 0 controls for PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch controllers. Master movement, combat, and menu navigation for Kiryu and Majima.

These controls refer to a PlayStation 4 Controller, an Xbox One Gamepad, and a Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller. The PC version of the game will state that "Real Yakuza Use a Gamepad". What you use is entirely up to you, but know that the controls I've got listed below will not match your buttons if you're not using any of these controllers. Be sure to check your game's Settings, as you can remap buttons in the PC version.
